When I was in the Army and deployed to the Balkans in 2002 I was on your fan page and congratulated you guys on putting out some of the most brutal and awesome metal around. Chris took the time and wrote me back thanking me and even asked some questions. That was very cool of him and I appreciated it during that time and even today. Thanks, Chris!

Thank you for the mention(s) Rob. I'm super glad you enjoyed the interview with Chris. I'll always appreciate you guys immensely. The World needs Chimaira.

Chris added so much personality to Chimairas body of work. Every aspect of this band stands out on its own, and for Chris to add those vital electronic parts really elevated the band, plus his live performance and backing vocals were nasty. I will be checking out the music he pointed out too, solid giving Spiritbox a shoutout. Great video as always Rob 🤘🏻

So great to see and hear from Spicuzza! He is missed for sure!

Chris was always the guy in Chimaira I identified and was drawn to most because of our shared interest in design and programming. Always wanted to do work with him. I can remember checking the Forefathers website for openings years ago when I was looking for jobs.

Chris' contributions to Chimaira's sound was one of the aspects that really drew me in and made Chimaira especially unique among the other bands in the early 2000's and new wave of heavy metal.

I absolutely love when these get done with members of Chimaira. It's good wholesome content. I love these!

Great to see you 2 together again. You guys made some of the best metal together. Impossibility of reason was one of the best ever made.

Dude. It’s cool how you guys all get along now and all of you love and miss each other. That’s what it’s about. That’s awesome.

ANXIOUSLY Waiting For This CHIMAIRA Round Table!

I love seeing these interviews with the other Chimaira members. When a band starts replacing or losing members is when I lose interest. The loss of Spicuzza was the last straw for me. The Age Of Hell just didn't feel right without him. It felt hollow and lacking. That was the last Chimaira album I bought and listened to. I felt Chris was underrated. I specifically remember being blown away by his backup vocals at CC9, especially during Resurrection. Wish he could have met Morgoth during the recording of the Resurrection album. Chris's, I mean, Morgoth's contributions to Empire made it one of my favorite Chimaira songs ever.

this is very amazing, chimaira forever🤘🤘🤘

Really enjoyed watching and hearing old tour stories…never knew mfa was that much of a fighter👊🏼👊🏼😁

Great to see Spicuzza! and those Mexico shows were killer!

This was so great Rob, thanks so much for setting it up for us. Chris looks amazing, I almost didn't recognize him!

love hearing humanity's last breath and spiritbox getting some love here

We all love you Chris!!

It’s nice of you to catch up with former band members and see what they are doing now. It shows you all have a sold bond still after all these years

That's awesome he's out in Vegas, I'm in North Las Vegas, moved there a year ago from Long Island, NY definitely took some getting used to. Being born on an island surrounded by water now living in the desert. Cheers from North Las Vegas!

Those albums won't be so good without Chris touch, always loved what he did.🖤

Thanks for video. Glad to see you guys ❤️ 💪 🤘

Thanks for this! I think stuff like this is great for closure. It's good to see that everyone has moved beyond the band and have established lives that fit them as people.

Brilliant. Been looking forward to this one for quite some time ❤️.

We have the missing peace to the puzzle Rob. So nice to see that Chris is looking well and healthy. Really enjoyed this one Rob. So many wonderful stories about Chris's time in Chimaira and also some scary stories about the touring in Europe. I wonder if Chris would ever work with any of you again. With lets just say adding some of what he did when he was in Chimara or something else. Now that you have had all of the members on EYL. Maybe you could do one EYL with a fan. I have to say that out of the members of the band that have been on EYL. This is the best one. Rob many many thanks for doing this with Chris and maybe as you spoke about getting all of the band around a table. Then that also would be let's of fun to watch.

I gotta say that no other band has released dvds/documentaries that made me feel like i knew the band well. Its cool seeing you all catch up on this channel and share more memories and insight.

Hi Rob! I remember driving from Portugal all the way up north Spain to watch you guys back in 2008. Card with Maroon, The Sorrow, and a humongous gap between the stage and the crowed. Good times! My question, have you guys ever consider just putting new material out without necessarily touring? I know money lies on touring these days but... Keep the great content! Appreciate it a lot!

Nice Rob, you rounded the whole band together! Many thanks for this!

Some time ago I made a comment asking for an interview with Chris since he is one of the main figures that started me in the world of samples since on each album there was a unique sound and atmosphere that gave Chimaira that particular touch... It's been a great interview and I hope they do with the footage that Chris has and with the audio mix that you have and some saved demo out there it would be interesting to listen to it ..... I hope you achieve the feat of bringing everyone together it would be epic

I realize as I got older that bumping heads and arguments on songs, is that each member wants the best intentions for that song or part. At the end of the day, you wanted what you thought was the best for the song. Then we have to move on and not have resentment. Life is challenging lol

Rob, I think it'd be super cool to have Ben Schigel on with you and Mark. I loved Switched to death and I know you guys came out of the same scene, played shows, and that Ben was involved in the Impossibility of Reason. Could be a fun episode!

This is a great interview and what i like to see the most is that everyone that was in the band stil get along. You all patched up any differences and thats great to see as a fan. The DVD's showed us a brotherhood between you all. If anything good came out of the band breaking up is this. Hopefully down the road you guys can do more stuff rather its a show here or there or a song here and there. Either way Chimaira ruled and still rules!

Yes! I've always wondered what he's been up to! Thanks for this one Rob 👏🏼👊🏼

i love when they went through the country journeys, periphery one of my fave bands since they came out also animals as leaders.

Chris was def integral to the sound.of you ever read this Chris, don't think your role was small just cuz you weren't doing legendary riffs or solos.its not like that. You def had vision. And rob please get the impossibility of reason 20th anniversary going. Hit up mark. Make it happen please please! The travesty that is the lack of chimaira these days really sucks. I'm grateful for the vinyl releases for sure despite one of mine showing up ruined and than being totally ignored by the dattibutor. but impossibility is the definitive album and I hope that somebody still has their hands on the reigns

Love this interview took a minute to get comfortable but loved where y’all opened up about leaving the band and coming back together and fight story’s lol

I hope to see a reunion of some sorts, and to get to open for you guys on a show or two. I can't tell you how influential as musicians and just a general blueprint to success you all have been for me and driving my band forward over the years. I've had to have watched the dehumanizing process over hundreds of times to stay motivated. I remember when we shot our photos with Kevin Estrada, One of the first things I said to him was " You helped sign Chimaira, tell me about it'. Cool full circle moment. Thank You. Keep the content coming Rob. 🙏

I believe I’ve got a sample CD that Chris potentially used on the self-titled. Something called Ambient Realms by Sonic Foundry. There’s a sound on it called Venus Voices that can be heard at the very end of Lazarus. Hearing it when I was playing the CD was kind of surreal for me considering the influence Chris’s sounds have had on me since I was 17

Thoroughly enjoyed this one. Such a great guy.

That was suuuch an awesome interview :) Chris is such a great guy,like the rest of you ,Chimairanians :) Sad to hear about the hip issues though...im crossing my drumsticks for it to go well.! AAlso superfunny that Chris said it would be cool to do a " all band chat"..I was thinking the same thing when you mentioned " he was the last member to come on to the show":......so yeah...Rob....Bring them all on :) Thanx again for awesome video. Greetings from TheNorwegianCarDrummer, Stefan :)

I never realised how much Chris looks like a mix of 75% Kevin Spacey and 25% Wes Borland. I really hope you get a Chimaira Round Table episode together. Would be epic. Solid idea.

Love these episodes. A group one would be awesome!!

Omg!!! I'm laughing my ass off! In that Mexico show, it was one of my friends who got Chris' shoe and got the pass for it! We gave Jim one of those bootleg coffee mugs, and Mark sold me a Dehumanizing Process DVD a few days before it was officially out! One of the best nights of our lives! Thank you!

The insight into one of my favorite bands is awesome! A few things: When you were talking about female singers I said out loud "Ginger!". I saw them in a hole in the wall club in Orlando, great show. It pains me knowing that a few of the other bands in your "graduating class" took off more than you. Props to them but in my opinion you all were the best of the bunch. None of them are in my daily playlist anymore. Loved this interview.

Great discussion and interview! Chris’s contribution to the Chimaira sound cannot be overstated!

Loved hearing every minute of this ! Always quality content Rob! 🤘 good to see Chris again too!

Been waitin for this one! thanks man!!! awesome as always.

Next, band reunion just chilling ❤ be waiting for that, great to see the band active again, will there be a new album??? 😊 Cheers

Love Chris's contributions on self titled! Any chance rob you can get those tracks and share em on patreon? Would be so cool to hear those effects solo'd

Cool, thanks for video, glad to hear and see you guys ❤️ 💪 🤘

Good people, Chimaira got me and my husband through some hard times . This 20 year reunion was has me lost for words. Amazing show! Your sound crew was cooler than cool. I’ll be in a glass box of emotions for awhile. Thanks to Mark sharing his awesome energy through the crowd. I could see his smile and his love and appreciation to be in that moment. I know I was. Without needing to mention being this is what Chimairas music does. The bands sound fucking went through my soul. Appreciate you guys/gals sharing. Hands down best show ever! I definitely feel my age after this reunion . Respect I definitely feel the musical taste has slowed down although, metal is forever. 😂enjoyed the music played before the set. 😊 alright

Thanks for curating this. Killer episode!

Hey Chris! Panic attacks are a bitch, especially the first couple times. Glad to see you doing well.

Awesome interview, it was cool seeing you guys catch up again and hear what Chris has been up to. Thanks guys!

The story about how they told you to destroy the club after the show is incredible hahaha

Hey brother... Look i know youv done interviews with both Andols, Kevin and Matt already, but thouse where over Spype. But i would love to them all in your studio... Maybe Ben Schigel and Todd Bell could be cool (And an interview with Jason Suecof would be funny as shit 😂) Just an idea 😋 Love from Denmark

Thanks Rob, always a ton wisdom and good stuff in EYL. A lot of stuff to think about.

Guys so glad to see and hear you, tnx for 2005 album, it's amazing \mmm/

I checked out that Beck album. Chris' right. It is a great album!

Great interview!! Let’s get that reunion going. 🤘🤘

Great interview Rob. Really enjoyed this 👍🏻

Oh man.. so cool to hear you guys discussing Jinjer ... my favorite current group. What did you think of the collaboration with the guys in Lions at the Gate and Tati?

Shout out for the 300% Density album by Candiria name check. That album slays. Good interview/conversation.

Shoutouts to British Baking Show. And Helmets? On ATVs? 😉 Watched the whole video. 🤘🏼

Austin next, please, sir, damn..

So cool guitar at the background. Slick. Big Boy, I presume ?

If you haven’t already heard of them or checked them out before, I highly recommend a female fronted band called ENTHOES. Some very talented people have played in that band most definitely!

Spicuzza!!! 🙌🤘💜🎶

I didn’t know Wes Borland used to be in chimaira!! 😂 seriously he looks like Wes lol 🤔

Suecof is the most underrated musical entity of our generation !!!

Who the hell's Spicuzza? -Jason Suecof

Did you guys catch Deftones when they first came out and opened for ...dang it hold...onnn either Black Sabbaths "last reunion tour" was headlining , and Deftones opened up for Pantera ? The crowd was mainly a bunch of Middle aged grams and grampas, kinda like the TIOR crowd this year.. I get Panteras show and Black Sabbaths "last" Reunion tour (again), they fade into one another. Long story short, Deftones was Boo'd on stage (not off) ON stage, they kept rockin, flipped the crowd off, I felt bad for them. OK, I looked it up. to be exact....Black Sabbath / Pantera / The Deftones at The Nutter Center Dayton, Ohio 1999 (seemed like that year was the longest year in history. I'll blame it on el Nino or Y2K. I cant believe it was my 16th birthday present to myself. Thanks once again for the HEAVY reminders that we are getting OLD FAST. I have 40 more years if Im lucky, and I am... I feel like im frozen in time atm.

Ohhh shit...see you in 1hour 23 minutes..i gotta check out this one first :) Greetings from the norwegian drummer,Stefan ;)

It would be great if you guys added that unfinished Impossibility track to the 20th anniversary release.

Great watch Rob. 30:10 - 31:42 👌

i would love a copy of the CC15 show, one of the best nights of my life, would pay for it as well!!!! take my money!

I love chris on his hot wings show.

HUMANITY'S LAST BREATH!! That's the real deal

WHoahhhhh! he doesn't have emo hair!? lol Been waiting for this one!

This was great, but when are you going to interview Morgoth?

Maybe I missed it because I was going back and forth between my phone and TV but didn't Chris and Kevin have some problems for a while? I would have liked to hear a bit more about that.

Awesome video!

Off subject question, but what do you have holding the drum sticks behind you? I have a ton of sticks I've collected over the years and would love something like that to display them.

This is crazy, why is that everyone hated Mark?

Is it safe to assume this was an actual interview?

Bs. The real electronics and sample genius of Chimaira is MORGOTH! BRING MORGOTH ON EVERYTHING YOU LOVE!!!!

Hey rob, what is the sample used at the beginning of pure hatred, that Chris uses?

Chris Spicuzza, What can I say about him? I don't know. I'm not gonna say anything about CHRIS SPICUZZA

I’m viewer 666!
